She was exploring automatic writing and drawing guided by the subconscious decades before the surrealists. The term avant garde literally refers to those going ahead of the rest. Hilma Af Klint was among the greatest avant garde artists in history. Hilma Af Klint’s long time in relative obscurity is partly due to the stipulations of her will. She stated that her works should not be shown until 20 years after her death. She was medium who said that her abstract paintings were guided by otherworldly entities. She was a part of a collective known as The Five and the women would hold seances which guided their artistic practices. Hilma Af Klint said her works could not be understood or appreciated until decades after her death because while most artists are chasing trends, Hilma Af Klint was using her intuition to create paintings that would blow the minds of future generations.
